Painted my Model A last night. Fisrt paint job ever!! Pics

Well I painted my car last night. This is my first car I have ever painted so I think it turned out pretty good for a rookie. I did get a few runs but I hope to get those all. The color is 1937 Ford Washington blue. I can't wait to get it out and put it back together and get it in some sun light for better pics with a better camera. Enjoy!!

Are you sure you haven't done this before? Very nice.

 

Looks good from here...

 

Wish mine were that far along. Looks good

 

Looks great to me. I love Washington Blue on early Fords, waiting to see the end result!

 

Awesome! That's a no brainer color....it's always a good choice.

 

nice...

 

not to shabby!

 

Nice work. It looks good.

 

Pretty cool...That brought back memories from my first paint job...I was 14.I had to learn at an early age, `cause I couldn`t afford to pay someone to do it for me.

 

Looks like you done good.

 

Good effort, your only going to get better, and you have the pride of a job well done.

 

Can I be next!!! Nice job.

 

LOOKS GOOD! I remmber when I painted my first [in '56] was an A model coupe I was 18. My Dad said to sand er down and fix the bumps, and we will paint it. Hey that sounded good! well I sanded some and made littler bumps. Took it out to where he worked at the paint co. He was a formulater he designed paint, made the formulas, and he custom made my black paint. We were outside and things were right so we sprayed her right next to the building. I was pretty proud of my newly painted A, little bumps and all. Yours looks lot better, and done right.

 

wish i would have known you were going to do this..they say its cheaper to do 2 at a time

 

X2 It's a real neat color.

 

Shiny? What the ****! In the 50s guys sanded the paint off, and took a piss on their cars to make them rust. Oh, wait, that's what they do now. Looks good, esp. for a first try.

 

Looks good buddy. Just like an old hot rod.

What ever come of that hot start problem?

 

Not bad for a TARD!! No really man I am proud of ya little brother!! Once you get the tape and plastic off so you can see the cream firewall against that blue it's going to be bad ***!! GOOD JOB BRO!!!
